All the stylists that work at the Coyote Ugly San Diego bar and not one person can cut and color my hair. Fine I booked outside the family. Green means I don’t like it. Brown with warmth means I do.
Went to bed cranky thinking about work. Woke up and locked myself out. Finally got back in. While I was on the elliptical I viewed my dog escaping. Nope still haven’t found her. Things come in 3s. Could be the last email about a Memphis issue. Hopefully the day now holds only positive!

This is what’s going on in my neck of the woods. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-anchovies-la-jolla-coast-20140708-story.html
1.Photoshoot in Vegas on Tuesday. I should be dieting and getting my hair done. I told them to make sure there is some alcohol on the ready since I get very nervous.
2.It took me weeks of bitching at Mac but finally Samurai Pie looks better.
3. Some new possible licensees in Europe. I am thinking we need a person specific to international licensing.
4. Milwaukee
5. Reorder Key west
6. NY? urgh
A lot of little things on my plate right now. Ok I need to get my fat ass outside and running.

Notice Mac isn’t in the picture.
Dinesti never trained for a triathlon and did it! Bam I proud of her.
Heading to Dallas for meetings. Lee, Daniel, and I in the land of the liquor and beer companies . Did I misread an email they said we have a meeting with Compari along with the big beer and liquor companies? That seems a bit out of our arena.

Nashville crushed everyone on Saturday. I think it’s Daniel’s personal goal to get that bar to the number one spot in the country.
Why I very rarely use Facebook: I checked Facebook today and found 3 emails from a customer in Denver asking me to fix the Denver’s bar’s bathrooms. OK I told them to fix it. Fine! Meeting with some of the beer and liquor companies outside Dallas tomorrow. Always interesting. Mac and I doing the Dine and Dash in the Gaslamp on Thursday. Hopefully he won’t be so chickens shit like he was for the triathlon. For god’s sake it’s only a 5k.

Quote of the day from Dinesti: ” There are only 5 times in my life I have been scared and you are associated with 3 of them. Applying to Coyote Ugly, The Lake Tahoe Tough Mudder, and The San Diego International Triathlon.”
I am honored .( Also her brother is a real treasure. I think he will get signed up for our next tri.)
” Lil you sign me up for triathlons and I am signing you up with me for speed dating.”
I thought I had already proven quite good at speed dating in my normal life but this is obviously a different animal. Just for fun I want to go. Could be hysterical.

Bam Ben, Dinesti , and I finished the San Diego International Triathlon. Not my best times but I made it. I could be the worst cyclist. At minimum 50 people passed me on the bike. When Chantel and I do these races we always say ” if you are really tired just walk part of the run.” Usually there are tons of walkers at these races. Well San Diego obviously breeds another type of athlete because there was not one walker. ( hell no I didn’t walk)
I need a massage and a chiropractor tomorrow!

I have gotten so many compliments on my Oklahoma anniversary shirt. Great design.
So , like the idiot I have been known to be, I signed up a few months ago for the SD international triathlon . It’s coming up on Sunday and I am completely unprepared. I have never swam 1000 meters in open water. I bought a new bike and I am not 100% sure how to gear down into easier gears for hills. And since I am deathly afraid of traffic I won’t practice . I can’t run more then 2 miles without my hip and leg hurting. This is going to stink. Both Mac and Dinesti are trying to get out of it. I can’t get out of it because my trainer from New Orleans is flying in. I am totally screwed. Plus I have gained weight here. Urgh key West is starting to pick up their numbers . Excellent. NY’s numbers are god awful right now. We made the decision to redo the bar , which cost a ton of money, and now the numbers are down . Urgh . I need to get my fat ass on the damn bike today . I swear that the Nepal race just killed my body and I haven’t recovered. Yoga years are approaching

Bam excellent 5 year anniversary party. Amber set up bands playing all day . And every band was incredible . Good job to the OKC staff.
Funny to have so many of the Austin staff there. It’s a 6 hour drive from Austin to Oklahoma City. I was riveted by Lacey last night. She wore an all leather outfit and she was extremely captivating on the bar . They have a really pretty upbeat staff. The BMF at the front door didn’t know us and we had to convince him to let us in. I enjoy that sometimes.
Going back home .

Lizzie and Amber told me to stay at the Aloft hotel in OKC. I didn’t arrive at hotel til after midnight. Oh god awful . Even my gold Starwood status did not get me a quiet room. I could here the band/DJ til 2 am. I am exhausted . I went searching the hotel for the gym this morning . Finally I went to the lobby and asked. ” miss the signs are very clear , they say RC”. Did I miss something? Why would RC signify gym or fitness center. ?” ” miss it stands for recharge.”. Really I am supposed to know that recharge means F gym?” Honestly I had seen a sign saying recharge I thought it was the business center and you could charge your phone . Then our brunch that was supposed to be 9 people ended up being Chantel and myself . We waited and waited. Lol. Ok heading to the bar in the next two hours. Amber put a ton of working into this. Going to be fun!
Yes I did FaceTime Chantel to try and figure out how the headboard stores the iron . She’s obviously as dumb as me.

Pretty incredible legacy. http://gma.yahoo.com/kevlar-inventor-stephanie-kwolek-dead-90-153315187–abc-news-topstories.html
Heading to Oklahoma City tomorrow for Sunday’s anniversary. Fun!
NYC had a horrible night! Need to get those numbers back up.Let’s not even speak about New Orleans. Miserable.
My gratitude today goes out to Daniel for bugging me to the point where I finally had to book my ticket for our meetings! He is doing his job. Even if that means pressuring me. ” Did you really have to book my hotel?” No doubt it’s god awful. No gym, in the ghetto. Ok well he’s running with me in the morning . ” get your fat ass in gear Daniel! No gym means you are my personal trainer. “

My poor friends know what they are getting into when they visit me.
The video is Leslie with me at Samurai Pie then I made us workout afterwards.
